Our house is already a noisy place, but this election season raised it a few more decibles. With fairly opposite political views we've had our share of debates and Anthony has jumped in as well! He usually takes Dad's side and likes to ask everybody he talks to who they are going for. If you don't know or don't answer him, he asks whether you want to keep your change or not (Fred's teaching of the Obama's Change/"wealth redistribution" plan).
Anthony is also very busy now practicing writing and asking us how to spell everything. Saturday night he was up late making a card for "his best friend" Faith and asked me to cut a number "2" out for him and last night he was up late writing signs for the house "Yes McCain, No Obama" on one and a "Yes Obama" on another and then got Fred to help him tape them up on various bedroom doors this morning. He's instructed us that he wants Mom to tell him who won if her choice wins or Dad to tell him if his choice wins. It's quite hilarious to hear how interested in it he is. In fact, when we were in California Hilma and Bob took him to their church with them on Sunday and in the middle of the service Anthony blurted something about McCain, causing the mostly pro-Obama congregation to get a good laugh.
Whatever your beliefs are, make sure you get out and vote tomorrow (if you haven't already in early voting)!! We plan to stay up late watching the results trickle in and see if we have a new President by the end of the night or if it will turn into a long drawn out challenge with allegations of voter fraud or other issues. We'll see how long Anthony lasts with us. Whichever way it goes, it will be nice when our phone stops ringing and the commercials finally stop running!
Best wishes to all,
Robin

Your Election Day story is just hilarious! I can picture Anthony doing all those things... it was a very exciting evening! I stayed up until Obama had the requisite 270 Electoral votes, and then went to bed -- about 1 AM here.
Love, Terry
